The celebrated “Jersey Lily” charmed Victorian London as an actress and socialite, became the Prince of Wales’ most famous mistress, then shocked society again by pursuing a career on the professional stage. But perhaps her most audacious act came in 1888, when she purchased the Guenoc Ranch in California and transformed herself into one of the state’s pioneering female vintners.
Our Lillie’s Vineyard, planted in 1985 near her original homestead, pays tribute to this extraordinary woman who refused to be confined by convention. Like Lillie herself, our Sauvignon Blanc is both elegant and spirited, with vibrant notes of lemongrass, apricot, and orange blossom that capture her vivacious personality. The wine’s crisp acidity and bright finish embody the same boldness that made Lillie Langtry a legend—a fitting tribute to a woman who turned every chapter of her life into an adventure.
